Cher forced to cancel Dressed to Kill tour

Cher's tour may have been called the "Dressed to Kill tour," but it turns out this diva was all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Indeed, 2014 was all about the remainder of the Cher tour that wasn't. She was forced to cancel all remaining dates on her doctor's advice after being hit with a viral infection. The singer said in a prepared statement that she was "devastated." "Nothing like this has ever happened to me," she added.

A total of 29 dates were canceled on the tour, including shows in New York City, Boston, Chicago and Toronto. This came after the so-called "D2K" tour opened in March to rave reviews and sold-out venues, making a reported $54.9 million.

The second leg of the tour was due to kick off in New York on September 11, but was postponed after the singer was "felled by an infection that affected her kidney function." Shortly thereafter, it was announced with "enormous regret" the cancellation of all remaining dates.

"While her progress has been consistent, Cher's doctors have advised her to take more time to ensure a complete and total recovery," said an announcement posted on her official website.
Thus far, Cher's camp has not announced any plans for 2015. None of the concerts from the remainder of the Dressed to Kill Tour have been rescheduled. The legendary singer did, however, release a line of holiday merchandise for Christmas and remains active on social media.

Cher still the Goddess of Pop

Cher, the Goddess of Pop, the only artist to smash the Billboard charts consistently for the past six decades, is an Academy Award, Grammy Award and Golden Globe winner. With hit dance single "Believe," the biggest seller of 1999, to her credit and selling over 100 million albums worldwide, Cher Tickets are highly treasured.

Of course Cher has always been known as the other half of the duo Sonny and Cher. But her work with her late husband/composer/producer/singer helped shape what would ultimately become a successful solo career for the diva. She did everything from group-style ballads to adult contemporary pop in the beginning, and her musical endeavors morphed into an acing career in which she won the Oscar for Best Actress in "Moonstruck."

She is versatile, she is legendary and Cher is still going strong. In fact, she used 2013 to release her first studio album in over eleven years, "Closer to the Truth." It became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date, and it's not wonder. It came two years after Cher wrapped a series of concerts at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, during which time she performed more than 200 dates and raked in a cool $180 million.

Cher's 2014 "Dressed To Kill Tour" with special guests Pat Benatar and Cyndi Lauper is set to debut on March 22 in Phoenix, Arizona. Longtime guitarist and husband Neil Giraldo will back Benetar ("Heartbreaker," "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," "Love is a Battlefield) while she performs for the first 13 dates of the tour.
